ECOproduct

Unique method for assessing the actual environmental properties of a product

Find products that fits the enviromental profile for your project

ECOproduct is for selecting environmentally friendly materials and products in construction projects, and is a collaboration between Grønn Byggallianse (Green Building Alliance), SINTEF (Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research) and Norsk Byggtjeneste (Norwegian Building Centre).

ECOproduct is the only method that assess materials actual environmental impact based on a third party verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), and allows you to choose the environmentally best materials on the market. ECOproduct database is being used by architects, contractors and developers with the goal of using proper materials in the building process. ECOproduct is also used as demands on environmental material quality for BREEAM-NOR certification. It uses recognized international standards and references as a basis for the assessment, as well as Norwegian regulatory requirements.

ECOproduct for manufacturers

Highlighting your environmental profile.

As a manufacturer or supplier you will document the environmental impact of your materials. The products are being awarded marks in environmental areas indoor air quality, content of health and environmentally hazardous substances, resource use and global warming potential. The lower the score is, the better environmental profile.

ECOproduct for developers/contractors

Environmentally friendly product selection of building materials.

Environmentally conscious developers and contractors will be able to make environmentally friendly product choices in the construction process. In our database developers and contractors can quickly and easily determine if the materials chosen for their construction project meets environmental requirements. This appears in the form of symbols green, white and red in the various environmental areas.

​​

BREEAM-NOR certification

ECOproduct provides BREEAM-NOR certified buildings.

BREEAM-NOR projects set high standards for environmentally friendly building materials. BREEAM-NOR is the Norwegian version of BREEAM, and the industry’s own tools to measure environmental performance, developed by Norwegian Green Building Council in close collaboration with the construction and property industry in Norway.

In our projects it’s constantly demands for environmentally friendly materials, in BREEAM-NOR context but also otherwise. Therefore, we require ECOproduct profiles of the main building products and materials.
